Host: There are a lot of places to visit in China. If you like Chinese gardens, you can visit Suzhou or Yangzhou. The best time to go there is in spring or autumn. There may be some rain, but the weather is usually nice at that time of year. If you like museums, you can go to Beijing or Xi’an. You can visit museums in any season. If you like places of natural beauty, you should go to Mount Huang or Jiuzhaigou. You can go there in any season except winter. The views there in winter may be wonderful, but it’s dangerous to climb the mountains or hills on cold and snowy days. In summer, it’s a good idea to visit a seaside city like Dalian or Qingdao. You can do some water sports, such as sailing. It’s great fun. Some of you may like to visit theme parks, such as the Window of the World in Shenzhen or Hong Kong Disneyland. You can go to these places all year round.
